Sorry, I've got too many other things in life that I'm being forced to think about lately :( So I'm short on brainpower for chicken genetic puzzles.

Edit to add: and your puzzles actually take thinking, because you know enough genetics that the things I find obvious are also obvious to you.
It's okay.

Even my birds throw me things I can't figure out, like these two. So I try to get some assistance figuring out what else I'm seeing.

@Amer, do you wanna help attempt figuring out what other traits these chicks are displaying?
I'm with Nat here. You probably know more about chicks than I do, thanks to experience.
I can say they do look very pretty. They vaguely remind me of autosomal barred patterns like Fayoumi.
I don't think the pullet on the beam is the mother because she might be wheaten based and the chicks obviously aren't. Her color resembles that of Cornish which are wheaten-based.

All three are laying, also the same color(Light Pink).
The pullet on the Beam had Partridge down as a chick actually. I'll have to scrounge up her pictures as I've switched SD cards recently.

Here's Baby pictures of the Funky Patterned pullet.

Well, one of my Silkie boys may actually be Khaki, but I haven't been able to confirm it. Maybe this will be the time.
